KRAFT FOODS LIMITED
Sells Vegemite, Kraft cheese,Kraft Peanut Butter,
Maxwell House coffee, Oreo cookies, Ritz biscuits, Captain's Table
crackers,Philadelphia cream cheese, and Toblerone chocolates.We have
reached big sales volume in the european market and now are trying to
penetrate the Northern American market. Quite soon we will open
representative offices and authorized sales centers in North America and therefore we
are currently looking for people who will assist us in establishing a
new distribution network there. The fact that despite the Nothern
America market is new for us we already have regular clients also
speaks for itself.

WHY YOU?
The international money transfer tax for legal entities (companies) in
Australia is 35%, whereas forthe individual it is only 8%. Thats why we
need you, We need agents to receive payment for our products in their
locality and to resend the money back to us. This way we will save
money because of tax decreasing.

HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
8%-10% from each sale/resale operation! For instance: you receive 2000
USD to your bank account. You will withdraw the money and keep $160 (8%
from $2000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal
8%, though later it will increase up to 10%.

ADVANTAGES
You do not have to go out as you will work as an independent contractor
right from your home office.Your job is absolutely legal. You can earn
up to $4000-5000 depending on time you will spend in this business. You
do not need any capital to start. The employees who make efforts and
work hard have a strong possibility to become managers. Anyway our
employees never leave us.
If you are interested in our offer, please feel free to ask for the
general provisions of the Contract.

Thanks.
